Glen:
Yours earns what I write, or I don't write it...
Others abuse format: Eugene Police website just scrubbed offensive caricature of City Councilwoman whom they dislike for views-and-actions...worst possible PR-move, already seen as highly questionable by key citizens and groups.
Format is highly seductive, and requires both excellent, seasoned/experienced judgment, and THEN talent, to be as good as we keep getting here.
If that's in any way "mutual admiration" -- so be it.
GO, Leonardo !!

Hank -- every one of your OP-ED pieces is a zinger. Spot on. I say that not to flatter or to create a mutual admiration society, but to acknowledge something which is patently true.

Leonardo et al:
Cartoon-format is a basic and powerful media channel, followed voraciously ever since IU-days, per lessons learned there in depth and detail, stressed by experts.
Inescapably, to be effective those published must display close mirror-image and pointed statement about it --for the public wit, wisdom and will-- in ways that the public both can fully understand AND will appreciate !
Yours in whole series, for me, doth reach precisely those objectives, which is why I comment, only when they do so.
We are fortunate to have both your insights and your demonstrated skills.

Leonardo May 21, 2008 6:36 pm (Pacific time)

Thank, Hank. I'm not certain I deserve your praise, but I am grateful for it.

To all:
What I always enjoy here is the unfailing insight strongly illuminating the absolute truth we must face in reality.
Glen, thank you--AGAIN !- for that unfailing, sharp, common-sense approach.
It does this format proud.
